Senior Portraits at High Point University in December

December at High Point University is one of the most magical times of the year, and it’s also one of the best times to schedule your senior portraits! As a local photographer who specializes in HPU graduates, I’ve had the joy of capturing countless students celebrating this exciting milestone on campus. If you’re graduating this Winter, here’s why booking your senior portraits in December is such a great choice.

The Festive HPU Atmosphere

High Point University is known for going all out with holiday décor. From the towering Christmas tree on the Roberts Hall lawn to giant nutcrackers, sparkling lights, and festive wreaths, the campus transforms into a winter wonderland. These seasonal touches add a unique, celebratory feel to your senior photos. You won’t just be capturing your graduation season, you’ll also be creating timeless holiday memories.

Iconic Campus Landmarks

When you book your senior session in December, you’ll still have all the classic HPU backdrops available, including:

  • Roberts Hall – a must-have for every HPU senior.

  • The Panther Statue at Cottrell Hall – a symbol of school pride.

  • The fountain areas and manicured gardens – gorgeous no matter the season.

  • The “I Love High Point University” sign – perfect for sharing your school spirit on social media.

Pairing these iconic spots with holiday touches makes your gallery feel extra special.

Why December Is Ideal for Senior Portraits

  • Celebrate before graduation stress – By scheduling your portraits early, you can enjoy your session before finals and graduation week get too busy.

  • Cooler weather – No sweltering summer heat! December brings crisp, comfortable air, which helps keep you fresh and polished in your photos.

  • Perfect timing for announcements – Getting your portraits done now means you’ll have your images ready to use for graduation announcements, thank-you cards, or holiday gifts.

What to Wear for December Senior Portraits at HPU

December gives you the chance to layer and accessorize! Many seniors bring two outfits:

  • Classic option – A dress or suit in school colors (purple, black, or white).

  • Seasonal option – Cozy sweaters, stylish coats, or a festive scarf to complement the campus holiday décor.
    And of course, don’t forget your cap and gown to mark the milestone!

Whether you’re graduating this December or walking in the spring, booking your senior portraits on campus during the holidays is a decision you’ll never regret. The combination of festive décor, iconic HPU landmarks, and the joy of celebrating your accomplishments makes these portraits unforgettable.
